MTOOLS is a filterscript that complements Texture Studio and provides a classic dialog interface with basic map editor functionality.

Interface

Texture Studio has an actual UI, which can be enabled by pressing Sprint while in the flymode or the No ('N') key while not in flymode. It has almost all the options available to you via commands, but some features are actually easier to use via the UI - and some are possible only via the UI. It really depends on how one likes to work. Some prefer commands and some prefer buttons, Texture Studio can satisfy both.

MTOOLS provides a classic dialog interface that is more familiar to fans of in-game mapping The main menu is called by default on ALT (Can be changed in the settings)
